Pretty cool chapter. Learned a lot about internets, the Internet and networks. Honestly I’ve never really put must thought into the Internet or any other computer networks for that matter. I didn’t even know LAN which is a local area network or WAN which is a wide area network, even existed. yep, definitely learned a lot. some of what i learned:
LAN connects computers that reside in a single geographic location on the premises of the company that operates LAN. Does BYUH use LAN since all of the computers affiliated on in a single geographical location (campus)?
WAN connects computers at different geographical locations. The example they gave in the book of a WAN is a company that has offices in Atlanta and Chicago.
internet: is a network of networks and has to follow a certain protocol. 3 different types of internet: dial-up (slowest), DSL (fast), and cable(fast).
**I didn’t really understand what a VPN is and when you would use it.
